NICE Language Committee: VIP archive

Context

In 1994-1995, representatives of three Eiffel implementations
-- Michael Schweitzer, Steve Tynor and Bertrand Meyer --
undertook a series of discussions on language topics.
Michael came up with the name for that project:
VIP, for Vendor Interoperability Program. VIP was conceived
as a subcommittee of the language committee, with a purely
advisory role.

This set of pages is the record of the VIP discussions.
They are made available to help further work by the
NICE language committee.

The Web pages are a service to the NICE language committee and have
no official status. Only minimal effort has been made to
put them in a somewhat readable HTML format. Address complaints
about the format of the pages
to
Bertrand Meyer.

Disclaimer

Please do not a priori assume that any of the authors
still holds any of the views or attitudes that he may have
expressed four years ago.

The purpose of making these pages available to the committee
is not to draw attention to what anyone may have said or
thought at a particular time, but to facilitate further
committee discussions by taking advantage of in-depth reflections
that may already have taken place on important issues.
